Our Mission

Since its first season in the spring of 2023, The Seven Hills Chorus has strived to reinvigorate our cultural landscape by providing greater opportunity for singers and the wider community to engage with high-quality music of substance.

Our Vision

From Ryan Davis, The Seven Hills Chorus’s Artistic Director

I can’t thank you enough for your support throughout these last three years and I hope that you will help us continue to grow by considering making a donation alongside your ticket purchase this season. As a nonprofit and 501(c)(3) organization, donations help us cover the costs of crucial expenses necessary to produce the high-caliber choral concerts for which The Seven Hills Chorus has become known. 

I hope to see you at the Academy on May 2nd for Songs Of A Nation, and I ask that you consider making a contribution of any size to support the chorus today. 

Together, we can ensure the future artistic landscape of our beautiful Hill City and continue to show that our community not only appreciates, but values the arts.
